CPC+ Offices – Hilo Medical Center Q1-2017 ED & Inpatient Utilization Lists  We apologize for not sending the correct lists out initially.  Hilo Medical Center provided us with a report listing your patients who were either admitted to HMC or visited the ER during Q1-2017.  Information from this report is needed for reporting to CMS by April 14.  If you would like this report, please contact Joyce.  jvitales@ehiipa.com   EHI will be able to provide this information to you quarterly.  Currently we do not have reports from the other hospitals.

New EHI Team Members – Misae Wela, RN, joined the IPA Team as a Transitions Coordinator. Misae will be helping Payment Transformation PCPs’ high risk patients by optimizing their post-discharge transitions from their Hilo Medical Center.  Rae Lynne Newpher, RN, also joined the IPA Team as a care manager to support CPC+ practices.
